Hawkster, I've got 3 of thier fly reels that I think are great for what I payed for them. Have nice features, disc drag's /pop-out spools/ good finsh ect. Also used one in mexico 2 winter's ago on a 125 Lb. striped marlin, one of the big salt-water reels. The drag was butter-smooth while he went on his 200 yd. run. Kinda ruin's ya for a while steelheading after seeing that much "weed-eater" line come off your reel that fast! Only neg. thing was the knob came off the handel 1/2 way through the fight! Bait-boy fixed it for me while my buddy dumped a pacifico over my head to cool me off, got the fish & even with him later too! chromer
